Spring Term Classes
All classes other than Parent & Tot classes are 1 hour in length.
Our classes are set based on age, and further segmented by our coaches assessment using a level system. Kids will have the opportunity to level up over time as skills are learned and practiced! However, as there are only levels 0-7 total, leveling up is not expected to happen quickly. Athletes are encouraged to have fun and progress at their own rate!
Our current class options are as follows:
Parent & Tot for Ages 18 months-3, 4-5, 6-8, 9-12, 13-17, and "No Boys Allowed” classes for ages 6-8, 9-12 & 13-17. (Parkour has historically been largely a male dominated sport, and sometimes this can make it intimidating to get into. If your child would prefer to learn parkour in a class without boys, these are the classes for them)!
All classes run once-per-week, and fall under seasonal terms: Spring Term, Fall Term, or Winter Term. The length of term varies, depending on holidays-prices vary accordingly.
Classes consist of a warm up, followed by stations with their smaller group, and finish off with conditioning (and often a couple minutes of free time!)
Intro Drop In Classes are offered on Mondays for ages 4-17; you can register for these under "Drop In Programs". They are run very much like our other classes, but the groups are slightly less stringent age wise, and are for athletes who want to try out Parkour for the first time. Each class has multiple coaches to allow for segmentation during the class.
If you have attended Drop In Classes before but are not able to commit to a whole term, we now have drop in options for each age group as well. Please see our Spring Term Schedule to easily see which classes offer drop ins for each age group.
Please self screen and refrain from attending if you are sick! Thank you for respecting the health & safety of everyone at Playgrounds.
Where do we pick up/drop off? - At our entrance at the front of the building! The exceptions are Kids Intro Drop In Classes, Nerf Drop Ins & Parties & Events. If you are attending one of these, please come to our entrance around the left hand side of the building across from the Fitness Depot entrance.
Do I need to register ahead of time? - We highly suggest you do! Pre-registering is the only way to guarantee a spot in the program you wish to attend, and we love to know you will be joining us.
What should we wear/bring? - Clothes you can move in (no jeans or hanging jewelry), indoor shoes, and a labeled water bottle.
When should we come to class? - Please arrive no more than 5 minutes before your scheduled program, to allow for cleaning time and smooth transitions from the previous program.
Are masks required? - Masks are not required, but can be worn if preferred.
Can parents stay during programs? - Yes! We do have benches/chairs for parents who wish to stay, but seating is limited and on a first come first serve basis.
